But yeah, just wondering if the 7th gear is used for cruising or top speed. My commute on the freeway averages around 70~80mph and I noticed that even on 7th gear, the RPMs lick 3K. Constant 3000 RPM seems a bit high for cruising in my opinion.

Yeahhhhhh... But that's just the way it is... The AT hits top speed of 155 in 5th gear

It's because of 7th we get better gas mileage than MTs... Because 7th can be engaged at 42-43MPH
